Base notes
What its composition says
- 3 materials on top, 2 in the heart, 3 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
- Pineapple: barely 3.1% of the catalogue contains it, which makes it the rarest material in its palette.
- Bergamot: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 43% of the analysed perfumes contain it.
- Woody, floral, citrus, aromatic, gourmand and fruity: 6 registers of raw materials share its palette, with woody supplying 2 of 8.
